Inger Stevens was born in Stockholm, Sweden, the eldest child of Per Gustaf and Lisbet Stensland. At 16, she ran away from home to Kansas City, and worked in burlesque shows. Stevens appeared on television series, in commercials, and in plays until she received her big break in the film Man on Fire, starring Bing Crosby. Her first husband was her agent Anthony Soglio, to whom she was married from 1955 to 1957.
In January 1966, she was appointed to the Advisory Board of the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute by then-California governor Edmund G. She also was named Chairman of the California Council for Retarded Children. Her aunt was Karin Stensland Junker, author of The Child in the Glass Ball. After her death, Ike Jones, the first Black person to graduate from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film, and Television, claimed that he had been secretly married to Stevens since 1961. Some doubted this due to the lack of a marriage license, the maintenance of separate homes and the filing of tax documents as single people.
